Gloria has a very active spirit and loves to play and sing with her friends. She is excelling in school and especially likes her language and math classes. When she grows up, Gloria hopes to be able to protect her community as a police officer. Gloria?s father neglects the family and wastes away their minimal income by purchasing alcohol. As her mother does not have a steady job to provide for her daughter, they now live with her aunt. Although she works hard to support Gloria and provide her basic needs, her efforts continually fall short. Now, through sponsorship, Gloria will have access to things like durable clothing, basic medical care, and a continuing education.
